Nazo is a mysterious blue-gray glowing hedgehog that appears in this picture from an early trailer for Sonic X. The image also appeared on Sega's Japanese website and was entitled Nazo.jpg, so it was assumed by some that Nazo was to be his name. This is, however, questionable, because the word "nazo" means "mystery" in Japanese. He has not appeared in the actual show and Sega has given no more information about him, so much debate has followed about who he was to be. Some say the image was really an initial design for Super Sonic in the show, but others believe he is a separate entity. It is possible this was to be Hyper Sonic, but there is no comfirmation on this, plus Hyper Sonic randomly changes colors and Sonic X features no Super Emeralds. Another belief is that this was a design for Silver the Hedgehog, although this is unlikely as Sonic X debuted before Silver, and that the design is much different. Many assume that he was to be a villain, but there is nothing to support this but one's interpretation of the image. Nazo bears little resemblance to any of the characters, and has spikes that branch from both sides of his back.
Nazo is a highly popular character in fan fiction.
